Hi everyone, I picked up an 08 528i CPO the other day. Car has the standard halogen lights. I wanted to know 2 things..
What does LCI stand for (sorry, dumb question I know)??
What is my best option for upgrading to HIDs and AE?? I have search and searched and am not finding any definitive answers..
Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure BUT I think brabusw209amg would tell you to buy the Orion V2 which you can buy here:
http://umnitza.com/umnitza-predator-...spolb66re53mk1
You can also buy the Eurostickers from AKAlius. They cover up the orange reflector on the headlight and make them look better. I'm about to order a pair. Check them out:

Thanks for the referral!
Feel free to send me an email to brabusw209amg(at)gmail(dot)com. I can make ur angel eyes glow white and put in HID/xenons in your headlights. You must send me your factory angel eye bulb or pay an additional $30 for my to purchase a pair of angel eye bulbs from BMW and modify it so your my 5W angel eyes fit inside.

Thanks for all the input guys. I decided to try the kit from brabus and he has been nice enought to answer all of my amateur questions. If I am not happy with it, then I will go the $1700 route..I'l try to post some pics of my install and results...I also ordered the Angel Eye upgrade from him.

You'll be fine with John's kit, he knows what he's doing. If he says it works then it does
